"Worse, the EV boom has hobbled Norwegian cities’ efforts to untether themselves from the automobile and enable residents to instead travel by transit or bicycle"

So no thought put into the people that physically can't walk or take a bicycle? In a cold climate, it makes matters even worse.

Bike paths and public transit are wheelchair accessible.

How do people get around in America's sprawl when they're too old, young, poor or disabled to drive?

[johnny99k → Fricken]
